Description - Hostel

We have free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free common kitchen with tea/coffee-making facilities all day long, free laundry service and…... and from time to time we serve free Russian blinis for breakfast!

The Hostel is owned and run by a local Russian family who will be more than happy to provide you with plenty of information about the city and how to get around. We prepare budget delicious homemade Russian dinners where you can easily meet many people and socialize even if travelling alone.

We created a funky CHILLOUT-zone in the mixed dormitory where our guests can rest on 2. 5 metres high while another guests are relaxing in the HAMMOK beneath. We can offer lots of little extras to our guests, from Russian soup ‘borsch’ to live performance of Russian folk songs on the guitar and smoking HOOKAH, not to mention famous Russian Welcome drink-vodka! We have many tours to offer, from the boat tour in the centre of the city to a fishing trip or kayaking in the surroundings of St. Petersburg.

We also can arrange for you a Tourist voucher / Invitation and booking confirmation for visa support.

Our Hostel offers to the guests different types of rooms. All the rooms are comfortable to live in: spacious, with high ceilings, every bed is equiped with reading light, soft carpet on the floor in each room encourages you to walk barefoot in spite that fluffy room slippers are given to each guest.
For those who likes to meet new people, find new friends and actively socialize with them we can offer a big dorm with a funky CHILLOUT-zone where our guests can rest on 2. 5 metres high while another guests are relaxing in the HAMMOK beneath.

For shy girls we have a separate room with sky coloured walls and wonderful inside yard view.

For those who used to travel small groups or for the pairs we can offer wonderful, very comfortable, cozy 4 mixed dorm Butterfly and double room Sakura with king size bed.

Our hostel is located in the building of 19th century in historical centre between Nevsky Avenue (the main street) and Liteyni Bridge (open bridge is the symbol of the city).
